Servings: persons

1 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives finely
1 tablespoon anchovies finely chopped drained
1/3 cup fresh breadcrumbs
1 clove garlic crushed
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup soda water cold
1 tablespoon lemon juice
16 squash blossoms
olive oil for deep-frying
sea salt flakes
lemon wedges

1
Combine the cheeses, chives, anchovies, breadcrumbs and garlic in a small bowl and season to taste with pepper. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag with a large plain tube. Open the squash blossoms and remove the stamens from the center with a teaspoon and discard. Pipe cheese mixture into flowers, twist petal tops to enclose filling.
2
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer, large wok or deep saucepan to 350u00b0F.
3
Meanwhile, to make batter, sift flour into a bowl, add soda water and lemon juice. Mix quickly with a fork. The batter will still be lumpy. Dip the squash blossoms into the batter; drain away excess.
4
Deep-fry the blossoms, in batches, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly golden and crisp. Drain on a wire rack over a tray. This will help to keep the blossoms crisp. Serve immediately with lemon and a little sea salt. You can keep them warm in a low oven for a few minutes, if necessary.
